Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
I made an update to the [lol] script, and it's pretty significant. Dobob made a post earlier this morning ( http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16384960 ), which got me thinking about ways I could speed up the script.
The code is significantly altered from how things used to work, so I'm looking for a few daring people to get it, try it out and let me know if there are any problems.
IMPORTANT: Uninstall your existing lol script and install this one:

I've been reading a lot of Cthulhu Mythos stuff lately and it made me think of the game Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. I played it a couple years ago and it was awesome. It doesn't get too much love around here though from what I can tell. If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft or horror you owe it to yourself to try it out. It's sort of like Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines in that it's dripping with atmosphere, except it's a FPS (w/ a fair amount of adventure elements) instead of RPG. I'm going to have to play it again soon.

I read about this story last night, the net has already found him and begun to call for his head through media outlets and online.
He's either a soldier or US contractor and he had his jackass friend tape him (soulsuck warning) throwing an Iraqi puppy off what is probably a 20-50 foot cliff. It appears to be real, and you should just spare yourself watching the video if you're an animal lover, the sound is bad enough.
Of course, the fuckup has an online presence via social network and the net dug him up quickly, has posted his name, home phone, and home address...

He'll be lucky if his parents' home isn't pelted with rocks by the end of the day.

I'm finding the game makes me motion sick though like nothing else. Closest I got to this was back playing Doom II on a new 21" monitor too close to my face, seem to recall new hardware and very slick framerates. Bleh.
Adjusting FOV to 90 did seem to help that a lot. Anyone else get motion sick like this? Probably a factor is that I've been playing less FPS in the last few years.

Do you think this could happen? If so, how? If no, why not?

So today the last episode is available ondemand. I for one am not sure what to do with my self. I love the show, and I will miss it. However I have to feel like it has run its course. I'm not real happy the direction they took McNaulty. What started out as being a little far fetched got way out of hand. At the very least Lester would have recognized the short sightedness of the approach. I dont see how any of this sticks on Marlo given the circumstances.
Anyways,
RIP The Wire. You were the best show on TV for a while.

I thought about installing and updating everything at someones place then burning it all to a DVD.. then I realized it probably wouldn't work on my PC because the installer has to fuck with registry settings or something.
Is there any way around this?
